Chapter 1463 - Casting a Long Line to Catch Big Fish
"This ...... I don't know about that! Elder Nangong had a bitter face and helplessly defended: "The old man is only here for the second time this time!" In all fairness, even if it were you, you wouldn't casually tell an outsider about your family's secret passage, right? After all, I'm just here to help, so they don't need to show me everything! ”
Elder Nangong didn't lie about this, in his opinion, the Immortal Cultivation Realm is a place that pays attention to strength, and only the level of strength is the standard for measuring how much a person is worth, so Elder Nangong is usually either busy cultivating, or he is in retreat in the sect to break through, and he has no time to care about other things.
This time, if it weren't for the fact that the big boss found him and wanted to help him do this, but he still owed someone a big favor, Elder Nangong would not have deliberately come out of the sect, but he didn't expect to plant a big heel on Xiao Chen.
After leaving the sect with his disciples, Elder Nangong followed the instructions of the Great Master and came here once, so he only knew that this place was the headquarters of the Young Master, and after accepting the task here, he went straight to the Burning Heaven Sect, and he was really blind to the rest of the situation in this place, and he didn't know anything.
Seeing that there was no information on this Nangong elder, Xiao Chen's anxious mood not only did not decrease, but became even stronger, but there was nothing he could do.
The anxious Xiao Chen simply carried Nangong to the gate of the mansion, then stared at the empty sign, and ordered in the sea of divine consciousness: "Xiao You, burn this house for me!" Don't spread it to other places! ”
"Yes!" The Nine Nether Flames appeared in Xiao Chen's palm with a "whew", and then flew into the air, instantly splitting out more than a dozen blue-purple flames. It hovered over the house for a while, and scattered like rain. In an instant, all the buildings in this house were set on fire.
Although Xiao Chen deliberately instructed the Nine Nether Flames not to burn to other buildings, there were still quite few houses near this mansion. And it looks like most of them are vacant, because until the whole house has been burned to ashes, no one has come out to watch or run over to put out the fire.
After the Nine Nether Flames completed the task and returned to Xiao Chen's body, Xiao Chen stared at Elder Nangong and muttered for a while, raised his hand slightly, and used his divine sense to quietly lay a divine sense mark on his body.
It was already laid out in just one breath, and Xiao Chen looked at Elder Nangong who was unaware. indifferently ordered: "Forget it, just look at your appearance, you know that you are a nerd with a tendon, it's useless to keep you, before I change my mind, hurry up!" ”
"What do you say? I...... Can I really go? You're not kidding, are you? Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Elder Nangong was stunned for a moment and asked stumblingly.
Elder Nangong had always thought that Xiao Chen was going to take the resentment of not finding anyone on his head, but he didn't expect that he would let himself go so easily. I was a little overwhelmed for a while.
"Nonsense, you're not happy to go, are you? What's the matter, do you want Ben Shangxian to give you a ride with a flying sword? Xiao Chen directly sacrificed the flying sword and looked at Elder Nangong with an indifferent expression. Said impatiently.
"No, no...... No more! I can walk myself, you ...... I understood the kindness of the immortals, and I took my leave. Leave! Elder Nangong was so frightened that he didn't dare to ask anything more. Immediately turned around and fled for his life.
In the process of escaping, the corners of Elder Nangong's eyes were still glancing back from time to time. Afraid that Xiao Chen would suddenly regret it, he would give him another slap, until he walked far away and saw that Xiao Chen still didn't make any moves, so Elder Nangong put his mind at ease and ran in the direction of his sect like an arrow.
Xiao Chen stared at Elder Nangong's back motionlessly, his expression was calm, and he didn't see anything unusual at all.
He had already thought about it just now, although this old guy didn't know anything, it was also an introduction, so if the young master knew that he was not dead, he would probably take the initiative to find him to understand the situation.
If you use Nangong to catch this "big fish", it is much more convenient than blindly looking for each other!
Therefore, Xiao Chen naturally did not choose to kill Elder Nangong, but placed a divine sense mark on him, and then let him leave on his own.
After Elder Nangong completely disappeared, Xiao Chen turned around and left the ruined mansion and returned to the inn where Hong Candle lived.
After entering the inn, Xiao Chen did not immediately go to the room to meet Hong Candle, but stood on the edge of the counter and called a shopkeeper.
"Hello officer! What are your instructions? The shopkeeper immediately ran over and asked with a smile on his face.
Xiao Chen casually took out a few spirit crystals brought from the Burning Sky Sect and stuffed them, and said casually as if unintentionally: "It's not a big deal, but there are a few questions I want to ask." ”
"Ouch, guest officer, you're so polite!" When the shopkeeper saw Lingjing, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took it and stuffed it into his arms, and his original smile became more sincere: "Just ask, as long as this Xiaoer knows, I must know everything, and I will say everything!" ”
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, and asked, "I want to ask, have any strangers appeared in your town recently?" ”
"Stranger......" The shopkeeper recalled carefully, patted his thigh and said: "Yes, a few hours ago, there happened to be a strange beauty who lived in our inn, that girl is beautiful, and looking at her eyes, she shouldn't have been here before!" ”
"How many hours ago?" Xiao Chen was stunned, isn't that Hong Candle? He had no choice but to wave his hand and said, "That woman and I are together, I asked if there have been any strangers in the past two months?" ”
"In a month or two?" Shopkeeper blinked, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "There don't seem to be any strangers here at other times, and the most face-saving person should be you......"
"That's ......" Xiao Chen was silent for a while with some regret, and continued to ask: "Then do you know that there are any more powerful forces in your vicinity, such as families?" ”
"Oh, this one has! Guest, do you want to inquire about the news, or do you want to find someone? The shopkeeper was in good spirits, and immediately nodded heavily and said: "The most famous thing we have here is the headquarters of the Dada Immortal Cultivation Chamber of Commerce in the eastern Fallen Leaf Town, I have been fortunate to go there once before, the place is big, it is called a grandeur!" There's ...... in it" (To be continued.) )
